You guys have a real winner in your DA


DA has nothing to do with booking charges. That’s 100% police discretion.

As much as people talk about our criminal legal system, you’d think that they would have learned some of this by now.

I only have watched Law and Order but I think you're wrong here. In terms of how the DA is solely responsible for the charges brought to trial that is.

DA has the power to modify the booking charge correct? Will Williams do that? Probably not.

Edit: had this been a white man attacking and killing a black woman, the charge would have been murder.
